Announcement: is requested
Update summary:
This small package replaces \textsuperscript and \textsubscript commands
by equivalent  commands that use OpenType font features to access
appropriate glyphs if possible.

Version 0.3 contains the following changes:

  * New commands \textsubsuperscript and \textsupersubscript added.

  * Fix an "infinite loop" bug added in the last version, triggered
 when loading the `xltxtra` package with the `[no-sscript]` option.

\textsubsuperscript (and friend) could actually be implemented as a
separate package for  pdfLaTeX as well. I'll consider releasing such a
thing if there's feedback to do so :)

Caption: Access OpenType subscript and superscript glyphs.
Description: This small package replaces "\textsuperscript" and
    "\textsubscript" commands by equivalent commands that use OpenType
    font features to access appropriate glyphs if possible.

    Also provides `\textsubsuperscript` (and `\textsupersubscript`)
    for setting subscripts and superscripts on top of each other.

    The package also patches LaTeX’s default footnote command to use
    this new "\textsuperscript" for footnote symbols.

    The package requires fontspec running on either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.

    The package holds functions that were once parts of the xltxtra
    package, which now loads realscripts by default.
